Officers at Embakasi subcounty AP headquarters have accused their boss of high-handedness and arrogance.
Elizabeth Mbogoro allegedly scoffed at a junior officer who asked permission to take her two-year-old baby for cleft palate surgery.
She allegedly told the officer: "Mambo na viwete zako sitaki kusikia [I do not want to hear anything about your crippled child]."
Contacted for comment Mbogoro said: "Where did you get my contact? My number is private."
She called later and a man who identified himself as Nairobi AP boss Francis Mburu told this reporter: "Nyakundi, why are you harassing my officer? I will take this to a higher level."
The junior officer, Doris Wako, was accompanied by Mbogoro's deputy when she went to seek permission.
Wako said Mbogoro asked her whether she is now her deputy and if she is having an affair with her deputy.
Junior officers who witnessed the incident said Wako left the office crying, cocked her G3 rifle and locked herself in a cell.
Mbogoro allegedly told Wako: "I have seen many tears before."
Wako's baby girl has had three unsuccessful operations and is scheduled for a fourth one at Kenyatta National Hospital on January 15.
Junior officers who spoke on condition of anonymity said Mbogoro boasts she has AP boss Samuel Arachi "in her handbag" and the Nairobi AP boss "in her armpits".
Wako, who is attached at the headquarters near Mama Lucy Hospital, requested to be moved to Embakasi Village AP post after the baby's operation so she can be closer to her.
The child's health has been deteriorating since birth.
Wako's husband is a GSU officer.
She was recently transferred from Kasarani on grounds of her baby's health.
Wako is appealing for help from Arachi.
Mbogoro allegedly went to see Mburu to initiate transfers of junior officers who criticise her management style.
The incident created tension, with the officers accusing their boss of disrespect and arrogance.
